I've tried to restore my iphone multiple times and the white bar won't go across

Including last night, I've been sitting at my computer for at least 6 to 7 hours...
     Saturday morning, I woke up to a strange icon on my phone when i turned it on. It said i needed to connect my iphone to itunes. I just got my iphone a few weeks ago, and i didn't have any problems up in till now. So I causually went up to my computer, and plugged my charger into the computer, and plugged my charger to the iphone. A message popped up saying my iphone needed to be restored. So I clicked 'restore and upgrade." It was restoring for 2 hours. When it was finally complete, a small white bar apperead. Unfortuantly, even though my phone was plugged in for several hours, it still made no progess. I updated Itunes..I even updated my computer! I tried another computer which has more updated feautures to it, and it still has the same problem. Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated.

    when I'm trying to restore my iPhone 3g, it says "The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (10150)"

    If the Error is really 1015, it is most likely due to your iPhone having the iPad baseband. If this is the case, you will have to search the Web for tools to use Custom Firmware. These cannot be discussed on Apple Supported Forums.

    This is usually a symptom that the phone was hacked/jailbroken. Was it?

  • HT201269 I'm updating from my iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 and have been 'restoring' for 2 hours now and the progress bar still states I hae 6 hours remaining. Will it really take this long? How long should a restore take? It's a 32gb device. Thanks.

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

    I cannot turn on my wifi! I have reset and turned off my phone multiple times and the Wifi button is completely greyed out. please help me

    I had the same issue and i just resolved it, I have an iphone 4s and last night was al perfect and this morning i just verified that i had a new updated installed on my phone and my WiFi was disable and did restore as new like crazy until i did this after me being tired of restoring my phone from factory setting and then my lately back up on icloud i did my last move and it got fixed this is what i did ok.
    STep #1 Do a back up manualy onto your cmputer throu itunes (NOT ICLOUD) ok
    Step #2 after doing the the back up go and do on you phone or throu itunes do the factory reset setting and erase everything and make like new phone
    Step #3 Leave yhe iphone conected to Itunes.
    Step #4 Once your iphone is reset to factory setting on your Itunes Window will say NO SIM CARD DETECTED before clicking on your right up corner (DONE) slide your phone and it will appear conect to a network do the process and put the pasword of your WiFi and until it says conected,It will say (No Service) but it will be conected to WiFi  then click on the Itunes Window (DONE)
    Step #5 DO a back up recovery from the last back up you did onto your computer not Icloud ok!!
    Step #6 after you recovered your phone from last back up on your computer it will atumaticaly have service and WiFi conection like before..
    I hope i did explained well to you i did work for me after 7 hours of doing reset and back up =)

    Where the **** is the downloaded movie? I already tried to download it a second time and the computer tells me it recognizes I already downloaded this movie, but I go to itunes and movies and it is not listed.
    I've checked my downloads folder, the movie I rented is nowhere in my itunes library, but if I go to rent it again the store tells me I will be renting it a second time. *** apple? I've got a show in an hour, guess I'll rent it twice. Thanks.

    You donwloaded it on your ipod ( this is the ipod forum)?  it is in the videos app.
    On your computer?  it should be in your library under movies.

  • TS1372 Restoring my Ipod is not working. It restarts itself during the boot up process and the white bar under the apple logo is always so close to reaching the end but it restarts and tells me to restore it again.

    Have you tried restoring through iTunes?  If not, try pressing and holding the center 'Select' button and the top 'Menu' buttons together until it restarts.  Once you it restarts and you see the Apple logo, press and hold the left 'Previous' and center 'Select' buttons together to go into the diagnostics.  You can run tests through that and see if it's a hard drive issue or software issue.

    Hi,
    I have the exact same problem as you with my daughters iPad 2. Have you found a solution?
    My daughters iPad 2 has been upgraded to IOS 7 for a while, and she complained about it sometimes turning off, restarting. Yesterday it could not be turned on at all. It was fully charged. She has been looking after it - no physical damage. Before upgrading to IOS 7 there were never any problems.
    Holding the home and sleep button for 10 or 15 seconds did nothing - black screen.
    Although she complained, we decided to wipe the whole thing, and start on a fresh. Could not enter recovery mode (pressing home, while attaching USB). Pressing home and sleep button for 10 seconds while connected to iTunes, causes iTunes to state that there is an iPad connected that needs to be restored.
    iTunes retrieves the the 7.0.4 package and starts the update. However when the Apple logo and progress bar appears nothing happens. iTunes just states "waiting for iPad". I have left it for periods of 1 hour, 2 hours or even 6 hours without any movement what so ever on the progress bar. Have tried with three different PC's - all with same result.
    If I keep the home and sleep button pressed for 10 seconds during the "stuck" update, the process starts over again - unpacking the 7.0.4 package, starting the upgrade and then nothing! Apple logo and progress bar not moving.
    Just checked my warranty - and it was bought in September 2011, so that is no solution. We are using PC's with Windows 7 64-bit with Windows update turned on and no other problems.
    Hope somebody can help :-)
